Frequently asked questions

How does Grégoire stand apart from its competitors?
Grégoire serves customers fresh ingredients, friendly environment and unique menu items that traditional restaurants just don’t offer. For example, the brand’s current seasonal menu includes a variation of sandwiches and sides like the spicy avocado with lettuce and tomato on pantofolina bread and the Cajun fried catfish with Tabasco aioli on a French roll.
What makes a Grégoire franchise successful?

From seasonally changing menu items that are locally sourced to the thought that has been put into all the processes, the business is truly one-of-a-kind.

The unique energy of the brand is beloved in Berkeley and beyond, and now franchisees have the opportunity to build that in other regions.

About 75% of sales are from returning patrons who love the food so much that they keep coming back. The business has a loyalty program with over 30,000 customers enrolled — and that’s just the one location.

Franchisees will enjoy building new customer relationships and bringing in more recurring patrons.

What kind of training and franchisee support does Grégoire offer?
Jacquet is looking for people who are passionate about food and customer service, saying he can teach them the rest of the business. The brand will provide owners with everything they need to know and will be in close contact with them each day, addressing their needs.

He has created an ingenious concept of having a culinary hub kitchen that is centrally located to all the locations. There, ingredients will be prepped and packaged by 5-star chefs to streamline operations at the restaurants. Owners will communicate with the kitchen and use an app to place orders for whatever they need the next day, and it will be delivered fresh to them. The idea is something he tested out when he was running a second location in Oakland for a few years, and it was very efficient.
